HOW WE WORK
We Create
We produce films, media content and educational resources that tell the stories of girls, the realities they face and the futures they desire- and the seismic ways in which educating girls transform families, communities and entire nations.
we collaborate
We work with organizations around the world to support locally led change that accelerates and strengthens quality education and greater opportunity for girls.
we activate
We ignite change by inspiring individuals, from parents to presidents, to support action for girls’ education and girls’ rights. We strive to change mindsets, norms and policy so that girls everywhere can go to school, rise and thrive.
Girl Rising began as a film.
Years ago, a team of former journalists set out to answer the question: How do you end global poverty? The powerful truth they uncovered was that educating girls is the single best way to achieve that goal. Yet, millions of girls are missing from classrooms, facing barriers that boys don't: early marriage, sex trafficking, domestic slavery and gender-based violence.
In 2013, we released the film Girl Rising, which showcased girls from around the world affected by the power of education – or lack thereof. Today, through mass media campaigns and community-led partnerships, we use storytelling to inspire girls to create a different future and bring people together in a shared mission to create transformational change in the way girls are valued.
